Had breakfast with some Ukrainian friends who were in the middle of doing a new route on Everest years ago. Sitting in a teahouse in Pheriche they asked Pam and I to check the phrases they had been learning from their phrase book to meet girls. Their favourite, which they had been practising studiously, was,
"Do you go in for sport?"

There are sports and then, there are sports. They were after sport.

Ernest Hemingway said there are only two true sports. Mountaineering and bullfighting.
Anyone do any bullfighting?
